Ordered Xenon HIDs low beam and high beams. 80W lows 100W highs. I needed harnesses so I bought'em but one problem plugs on both ends. They have 1 plug on one end and the other end is wires to splice into the factory one. Anyone have any problems with this before (splicing the harnesses together and having problems I mean) cause if not then I'll do that this weekend but if it's a problem causer then I'll take them back and look for others with a female plug and a male plug. BTW got'em at Advanced so if they ain't worth usin it ain't no suprise. Nappa can't order them for me and Autozone was closed so I'll go check tomorro if I have to take these back. Here's some pics so you guys can tell me what you think.

Blue plugs are the 9006 harnesses and the black blugs are the 9005 harnesses.

what you have are replacement harnesses.... as in... cutting off the old one.. and splicing in the new.

but you shouldn't use them anyway.... you need a relay harness... that way the HIDs take power directly from the battery.

 

Well the thing about it is that they aren't actual HIDs. They're Xenon gas filled bulbs that give that HID look. The low beam bulbs are 80W and the highs are 100W. How much would a relay cost me and how much trouble is it to install it, and does the relay change my harnesses? I'm on a limited budget so I can't spend alot of cash thats why I went with Xenon bulbs and I need plug and play harnesses. i.e.: female plug one end and male plug at the other end. Plugs into the headlight for one end the other plugs into the factory harness. Unless these will work with no problems which I'm trying to figure out.

ok first problem is the WATTAGE! WTF! are you serious! With those watts, your into frying eveything electrical that comes from those sockets! Seriously! throw those into the garbage! Anything that says HID look and arent HID's are not good, PERIOD! Dont be cheap when it comes to your car! If you want the "HID look" then but 9005 silverstars and do this mod...

BTW- do you have pics of these bulbs, im interested in seeing what they look like.

 

yeah.... i was actually wondering about that wattage too but decided not to say anything....

uhm... yea.... relay harnesses are usually about $25... my buddy at 365motorwerks has them.

 

Heres the link to the site I bought them from. It says they're HID Xenon bulbs, Xenon gas filled. So even though they're high watts they should work. I've even seen pics of Xenon that are 80W lows and they worked with them. I just needed to know if splicing would cause me any trouble. I got everything figured out and these WILL work I'm sure of it.

I seen those and didn't think and bought them. I only paid $22.99 for them but if I send them back I gotta pay another $8 s&h and I don't get that or the original $8 for s&h back. So I'm still out $16 lol.

he doesnt even need a relay since its not an HID kit. But Seriously man! 80w is ALOT for bulbs! Im trying to tell you not to get them! even ebay is selling the EXACT same thing!

anything that says "XENON or HID" and they really arent, is not good! Seriously dont be cheap man!

 

I bought mine from HiProSpeed and they wasn't $4.50 a pair. They were on sale for $14.99 from $29.99. And these are Xenon bulbs. I got them earlier this week and looked at them. I'm not gonna be hurting anything except for the aftermarket harness if it even hurts that.

Thomas

 

you get what you pay for.... i wouldn't be surprised if these fried your stock harnesses.. and when you replace them.. hmm... who knows.. those extra ones you bought might fry too......

 

man, we cant get nothing through this guys head! please dont make another thread when these bulbs fry everything!

BTW- there not XENON bulbs!

 

Thing is I'm cutting the plug from the factory one off so it won't fry if the aftermarket one does. And if that does fry then I'll be out $45 max. Then I'll go to Silverstars. It ain't that its not gettin through my head its that I paid for it and I wanna see if it works or not.

Thomas

 

well good luck Thomas

 

Thanx only got to install one of the high beams before I hadda leave for work and it has a bluish tint and no problems. I'll post pics of the full thing when I get them done.
